As a high school student in the 10th grade, I have accomplished a great deal. As a teenager, I enjoy watching movies, drawing, and dancing freely. But at the same time, I have many dreams that Ihave to fulfil by myself. As a person, I am hard-working and determined to achieve my goal. As a leader, I have helped many people through my knowledge and positive nature. A few years ago, my school organised an event by “The Smile Foundation”, a charity organisation that made me believe that there are many people who want to help others. That was an event when I thought that my leadership qualities would now pop out in the correct way. I stood up and began collecting funds and old clothes that could help the needy in some way.
I am highly grateful to my school as well as the Smile Foundation for giving me an opportunity to help others. I improved as a human. also, I really appreciate the changes that have been made to being more responsible, internally beautiful, and more determined.

With this golden opportunity I have got from the esteemed non-profit organisation “Smile Foundation”, to be a participant in SIFFCY, the initiative of India’s leading development organization, I am sure I’ll be able to learn something new.

Films have always been a part of my life. Some inspired me, some motivated me, some made me cry and others made me burst into laughter. World cinema has really evolved from the black and white silent films to the coloured motion pictures, the stories have evolved with change in people’s outlook and mindset. The process of transforming a piece of paper (the script) into a live scene is what intrigues me so much. I wish to live this process everyday and become a part of Indian Film Industry and may even contribute to World cinema.
